    Next step: perform the inverse operation, using external signals which the brain will perceive as control signals, creating induced stimuli.

    WoW in virtual reality, anyone?

    excellent! I hope this will get developed further and made available to as many patients as possible. This could have aplications with the general public too…you could use it to comunicate with different devices and possibly even with people …a bit like telepathy

    I am happy for you that obviously you don’t have to work with, live with, love, or otherwise know anyone who has to suffer the slow and degrading loss of independence and dignity to a movement-destroying condition or horrific accident. This IS an incredible development for people who can’t just get up and WALK away from posts such as this.

    uselessness??? there are outside a lot of people who can’t even move a joystick with their hands! so they are condemned to stay in bed waiting to die, or they need to a person to move their chair, so in this way they gain a lot of independency! and mind control is for more a better control than voice control (the other option), because voice control is really affected by noisy environments, while mind control isn’t affected :D

    It’s nothing fake, you need to research about Brain-computer interfaces, this in special is using electro-encephalogram (EEG), there are complete science books about it! and there are a lot of interesting applications for it, for example in the recent videogames conventions they have shown videogames that are controlled only by the brain! It’s a new techonology, but nothing fake, just read a little more… It’s science! :D

    That might be FAKE.
    Just program the thing to do something, and pretend you are controling it! Or have someone else controling it remotelly.

    I’m sorry, but for the uselessness of a chair controlled by thoughts… sorry, but it is 99% sure its FAKE.
